The ALOHA-90 observational campaign gave attention to gravity-wave activity over the equatorial regions of the mid-Pacific Ocean, emphasizing the horizontal density and temperature structure of the upper stratosphere and upper mesosphere/lower thermosphere. The triangular flight paths of the airborne instrument platform were chosen so that the intrinsic periods, horizontal wavelengths, and propagation directions of quasi-monochromatic waves could be determined from lidar and airglow observations. Gravity wave activity near the mesopause was very strong during the campaign, even near the equator. Wave activity over the mid-Pacific during the period of the campaign appeared as strong as that customarily observed over continental sites.
